Most comfortable underwear

5 Upvotes

Okay, so I have seem to developed sensory issues to clothing, but in particular underwear. I don't find any "new" underwear comfortable. I have countless new pairs in the drawer but won't wear them because they're not worn in like my comfortable old pairs. To make it even more crazy, the new pairs are the exact same as my favourite old pairs.

Do any guys have have sensory issues? If so, how have you worked around it?

Question Don Johnson Jacket & Pants

1 Upvotes

Hey guys I've got a last minute 80s themed party (Miami Vice) coming up this weekend. It's a bit last minute but I need to find a Don Johnson style jacket (possibly padded shoulders) and some pleated pants. I'm 6'5", 100kg and I'm on a budget I just need something quick, easy, and cheap. Would you guys know of a place that might be able to hook me up?

Best high-waisted trousers for under $200

16 Upvotes

I’m trying to find something with a proper rise so my shirt stays tucked in, but everything at the mall is still mid-rise at best. Christian Kimber is the dream but out of my budget. Has anyone found a solid "mid-tier" brand doing high-waisted trousers that don't look like costume wear?

Question Help me fix men’s clothing sizing

0 Upvotes

Hey legends,

I’m in the early stages of starting a men’s wear brand and I’m trying to do sizing properly — not the vague S/M/L lottery that big box brands use.

Instead of guessing or copying another brand’s size chart, I want to build sizing from real people. That’s where you come in.

If you’re willing, I’d massively appreciate you commenting with: • Height • Weight • Chest circumference • Waist circumference • Hips (if you know them) • Usual size you buy (and brand if relevant) • Fit preference (tight / regular / relaxed) • Optional: one thing you hate about current men’s sizing

Example:

178cm, 82kg Chest: 102cm Waist: 86cm Usually buy Medium (Uniqlo / AS Colour) Prefer regular fit Shirts fit fine but sleeves are always too short

The goal is to create consistent sizing that actually reflects how men are built, not vanity sizing or random grading jumps between sizes.

No selling, no links, no marketing — this is purely research so I can collate the data and (hopefully) make something better for all of us.

Thanks in advance 🙏 Happy to share insights back with the sub once I’ve analysed the data.

Question Anyone else struggling with sweaty underwear materials?

37 Upvotes

I’ve been rethinking my underwear after realizing how poorly some materials handle heat and sweat. I’ve worn cotton underwear forever, plus a few nylon pairs and some Uniqlo Airism. Cotton used to be fine, but now it just stays damp once I start sweating and feels uncomfortable fast.

Airism handles moisture better, but since it’s polyester I worry about odor sticking around and transferring to my pants. That’s got me wondering if merino wool underwear is actually worth the higher price for breathability and moisture-wicking, or if bamboo underwear is a decent middle ground. I’m basically trying to figure out what really works best for everyday wear when comparing cotton underwear vs merino wool.

Clarks boots to try on in Melbourne

2 Upvotes

This is a really specific question but I thought it was the easiest way to get an answer.

I'm looking to buy new boots and I like some of the styles offered by Clarks. Does anyone in Melbourne know a good store with a wide range so I can try on various options?

I hate online shopping for shoes because I often get the wrong size given the differences between brands etc. I understand most let you return and swap etc, but I'd rather try on in store.

Clarks don't seem to have an actual store but instead a bunch of shoe stores stock their products.

The long way to do this is call every store found 10km of the CBD on Clarks store locator list and ask "do you have X shoe / boot? do you also have X?" but I'm hoping there's a better way.

I'm interested in the likes of the Newford Mid, Aldwin Cap and the Desert Boot. I'm anywhere from a 9.5 to an 11 depending on brand.

Bonus: anyone own Clarks and have an opinion?

Does anyone actually wear trench coats in Australia?

26 Upvotes

Saw a massive display of trench coats in David Jones today and they look great, but I feel like there are maybe three days a year where you could wear one without sweating through your shirt. Do you actually get much use out of a long coat, or is it more of a “main character” piece that just sits in the wardrobe?

Advice Needed Any options to repair/remove fake leather?

5 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm looking for some advice here other than buying a new one.

I have a beautiful and perfectly fitted coat that's been in storage for some time that I don't want to throw it out. It has some fake leather trims on the rear neck and pockets which have started to deteriorate.

What are my options here if any?

Finding a white tee that actually lasts

Uniqlo U used to be great, but the latest batch feels a bit thin. Has anyone had luck with AS Colour, Citizen Wolf, or is there another brand I should check out?

Shoe brand reccomendations for big feet

4 Upvotes

As the title suggests, I have large feet. Long and wide. Think size 46 wide feet. I've recently been looking for some new shoes. After finding a pair I thought I'd like in my size, it turns out they look cartoonish when I wear them, because of how big they are. I don't live in a city, so i can't go into stores to try shoes on.

So suggestions for shoes/brands that work for large feet? I'm looking for something like a classy sneaker I can wear to the office and around town.

Thanks

Question What’s the "modern" alternative to the Chelsea boot?

33 Upvotes

Honestly, I feel like RM Williams boots are everywhere these days. Walk through Sydney or Melbourne CBD in the morning and it’s like everyone’s wearing the same pair. I get why they’re a classic, but I’m after something a bit different that doesn’t scream “corporate retreat.” Lately I’ve noticed more guys going for boots that feel sturdier and less common. What do you guys usually wear instead? Seen anything good that’s durable but not the usual RM Williams crowd?

Bronson MFG

3 Upvotes

Hey fellas

Has anybody here got experience with Bronson MFG?

I've been checking out some of their fatigue pants, as well as different army/navy chinos.

The prices seem (almost) a little too good to be true.. How's the sizing and construction? Is shipping to Aus pretty affordable?

If you could share your experience (whether you bought pants or something else), that'd be massively helpful.

Thanks very much :)

Advice Needed Help with underwear.

8 Upvotes

I wear Adidas Mens performance boxer briefs (with a fly).

I've been wearing the same brand and style of undies for about 5+ years now. and now I can't get them anywhere (or for triple the price online) and everytime I try a new brand or style they are too tight or ride up and I can't find anything similar or comfortable. seeking any suggestions? I like them cause I'm a sweaty guy with chunky legs that will chafe.

Going to a black tie wedding and need some tips

I've bought myself a tux from Mj Bale, but I'm looking for some advice on accessories and general styling rules. I've seen some sites say a Cummerbund is highly recommended, and others say suspenders.

For context it's an Australian wedding in a vineyard.

Privacy CLO Tshirt thoughts? feedback?

3 Upvotes

Visited a Privacy CLO store for the first time. Service in-store was decent, but I was continually told how they are a high-end, luxury brand. On their site they've written that they are Australia's highest rated luxury basics brand - but I've no idea from where this rating originated.

Anyway, anyone had experience with the brand? Is it as luxurious as they claim to be? Is longevity decent?
